JAIPUR BLUE POTTERY

Blue pottery, a well-known traditional skill of Jaipur, arrived in the pink city only in the 17th century. The magnificent technique of blue pottery, Turko-Persian in origin, reached East India with Turkish conquests in the 14th century and later flourished under Mughal patronage. The term "blue pottery" refers to the extensive use of cobalt blue dye to give the items a striking tint

Speciality Of Blue Pottery - The absence of clay is what distinguishes blue pottery from traditional pottery. Quartz stone powder, powdered glass, borax, gum, Multani mitti (fuller's earth), and water are used to make the dough. In addition, soda bicarbonate can be present in the combination. The finished product is meticulously glazed with Chinese glazing technology.
